The Chase star Paul Sinha is among the top names appearing at the King’s Cross Comedy Club which will run every Saturday night at The Parcel Yard from February.
Comedy fans can find their next dose of laughter by entering King’s Cross station, heading into the Parcel Yard pub and going up the stairs next to the Harry Potter Platform 9¾ shop.
If they follow the signs for the comedy room they will be treated to a mix of TV names and rising stars.
Veteran comics Mark Thomas, Shappi Khorsandi, and Arthur Smith are also on the bill in the coming weeks, alongside Terry Alderton and Mick Ferry.
Club organiser John Smith, who previously ran comedy nights and festivals in Newcastle under The Grinning Idiot Comedy Club banner says the historic Dining Carriage at the Parcel Yard is an intimate 80-seat space where people can enjoy curated live stand-up.
He said: “The club is designed as an alternative to larger West End rooms: a close-up stand-up experience for genuine comedy fans, couples, and small groups, in a central location without hustle and bustle of the West End.”
The opening night takes place on February 7 and sees Sinha perform alongside Tom Ward who has appeared on Live at the Apollo and backed major comedians such as Jack Whitehall, Joe Lycett, and Jason Manford on tour.
Sinha is a self-described “quiz obsessive” who became British Quizzing Champion in 2019 and is a familiar face from Taskmaster to panel shows.
As one of the six “Chasers” on The Chase he’s known for his witty put-downs and vast general knowledge, which he should bring to his headline slot.
